Hi, so i have the Powercolor 3870 pcs version (800mhz gpu clock and 1170mhz memory clock). The bios on this card is 071, while i have been able to find a 075 bios (havnt updated yet though). Found the bios on a forum but cant on powercolor website. Reason why i wanted to update, was that cant really overclock using ati overdrive , as it mostly fails on whatever settings i use (did incrementally). Did get up to only 830mhz on core, but the memory clock refuses to go above 1170mhz. Has anyone used this bios, any issues with it on vista or something?
Also, although the cooler keeps the gpu cool, the ram stays fairly hot as there is no cooling on it. Is there anyway to check the temps of the ram chips, or its no problem of overclocking the memory clock?
GPU-Z says that the subvendor is HIS, whats up with that? thanks
